[QUOTE="wutty, post: 598436, member: 23492"] All engine consume oil but varies in the rate of consumption. This is because as the piston travels upwards, the cylinder wall is also being coated with oil at the same time. During the combustion stroke, this thin film of oil will also be burnt. Hence the loss of oil. I remember reading a BMW article quite sometime back, that oil consumption up 600-800ml per 1000Km is ok. [/QUOTE]
